I wouldn't put it past them to have considered that. In the manga they had a character based on Kris from Pokemon Crystal and as soon has heart gold and soul silver instead of writing her off and writing Lyra in they just replaced her clothes to Lyra's and never adapted Lyra since they look alike anyway.
Hopefully she doesn't make an appearance wearing that rediculous flower hat lol
I'd prefer to see her in her fedora, her first hat, it maybe no hat at all if she appears in SM.
